Safety Guidelines
Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and
operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes
in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and
label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.
Prescribed Usage
Note the following:
WARNING

1.1 Commissioning manuals for SINUMERIK 840D sl
Introduction
The commissioning manuals for SINUMERIK 840D sl are divided into:
● CNC: NCK, PLC, drive
● CNC: Base software and HMI-embedded
● CNC: ShopMill
● CNC: ShopTurn
Basic steps for commissioning SINUMERIK 840D sl
Commissioning a SINUMERIK 840D sl is performed in 2 basic steps:
1. Step 1 (described in CNC: NCK, PLC, drive)
– PLC commissioning
– Drive commissioning
– NCK commissioning
2. Step 2 (described in CNC: Base software and HMI-Embedded, CNC: ShopMill, CNC:
ShopTurn)
– Commissioning functions in NCK/PLC

1.2 Principle representation of SINUMERIK 840D sl components for
commissioning
Introduction
In principle, an NCU 7x0 contains the following components:
● HMI
● NCK
● PLC
● Drive
● CP
The HMI contained in the NCU is designated as internal HMI or as
HMI-Embedded/ShopMill/ShopTurn/HMI sI.
In addition, a PCU 50.3 can be connected to each NCU, on which the HMI-Advanced then
runs (additional optional ShopMill/ShopTurn, HMI sl). This HMI is then designated as
external HMI.
For commissioning, the HMI Advanced Software is required or the commissioning tool
derived from it.
For the commissioning of the PLC, a PG/PC with
SIMATIC STEP7 Version 5.3 Service Pack 3 is required.
In order to connect multiple communication partners to socket X120, a network switch or hub
(e.g. DMC20) is required.
Commissioning components for internal HMI's
Commissioning of an internal HMI requires a PG/PC. This PG/PC is connected via Ethernet
to socket X120.
The internal HMI displays its user interface via TCU (Thin Client Unit), which is connected
via the Ethernet machine control panel (e.g. MCP 310) to socket X120.
Commissioning components for external HMI's
External HMIs are connected to socket X120.
A PC/PG is required for commissioning of the PLC of the external HMI. This PG/PC is
connected via Ethernet to socket X127.
Note
To use the external HMI (PCU 50.3) without TCU, the internal HMI must be switched off.

Introduction
1.3 Initial commissioning procedure
IBN CNC: NCK, PLC, drive
Commissioning Manual, 07/2007, 6FC5397-2AP10-3BA0 17
1.3 Initial commissioning procedure
Introduction
The mechanical and electrical installation of the system must be completed. At the start of
installation and start-up, it is important for the control and its components to run-up properly
and essential that the system complies with the application EMC Guidelines.
Commissioning steps
The steps required for installation and start-up are described below. The order is
recommended but not mandatory:
1. Checking the SINUMERIK 840D sl boot
2. Making a communication connection to the PLC
3. PLC installation and start-up
4. Commissioning SINAMICS drives
5. Commissioning communication NCK<->Drive
6. NCK commissioning
– Assigning NCK machine data for communication
– Scaling machine data
– Parameterizing axis data
– Parameterizing spindle data
– Parameterizing the measuring systems
7. Drive Optimization
Note
For a drive unit with an NX module, observe the information in Section "Commissioning
NX <-> drive".

Safety information 2
2.1 Danger notices
The following notices are intended firstly for your personal safety and secondly to prevent
damage occurring to the product described or any connected devices and machines. Non-
observance of the warnings can result in severe personal injury or property damage.
DANGER
Only appropriately qualified personnel may commission/start-up SINUMERIK equipment.
The personnel must take into account the information provided in the technical customer
documentation for the product, and be familiar with and observe the specified danger and
warning notices.
When electrical equipment and motors are operated, the electrical circuits automatically
conduct a dangerous voltage.
When the system is operating, dangerous axis movements may occur throughout the entire
work area.
A potential fire hazard exists due to the energy being transferred in the equipment and the
work materials used.
All work on the electrical system must be performed after the system has been switched off
and disconnected from the power supply.
DANGER
Proper transportation, expert storage, installation and mounting, as well as careful
operation and maintenance are essential for this SINUMERIK device to operate correctly
and reliably.
The details in the catalogs and proposals also apply to the design of special equipment
versions.
In addition to the danger and warning information provided in the technical customer
documentation, the applicable national, local, and system-specific regulations and
requirements must be taken into account.
Only protective extra-low voltages (PELVs) that comply with EN 61800-5-1 can be
connected to all connections and terminals between 0 and 48 V.
Should it be necessary to test or take measurements on live equipment, then the
specifications and procedural instructions defined in Accident Prevention Regulation VBG
A2 must be adhered to, in particular § 8 "Permissible deviations when working on live
components". Suitable electric tools should be used.

Safety information
2.1 Danger notices
IBN CNC: NCK, PLC, drive
20 Commissioning Manual, 07/2007, 6FC5397-2AP10-3BA0
WARNING
Operating the equipment in the immediate vicinity (< 1.5 m) of mobile telephones with a
transmitting power of > 1 W may lead to incorrect functioning of the devices.
Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so that inductive and capacitive
interference does not in any way impair the automation and safety functions.
SINAMICS equipment with three-phase motors conforms to EMC Directive 89/336/EEC in
the configurations specified in the associated EC Certificate of Conformity.
DANGER
Repairs to devices that have been supplied by our company may only be carried out by
SIEMENS customer service or by repair centers authorized by SIEMENS.
When replacing parts or components, only use those parts that are included in the spare
parts list.
EMERGENCY STOP devices EN 60204-1 (VDE 0113 Part 1) must remain active in all
modes of the automation equipment. Resetting the EMERGENCY STOP device must not
cause an uncontrolled or undefined restart.
Anywhere in the automation equipment where faults might cause physical injury or major
material damage, in other words, where faults could be dangerous, additional external
precautions must be taken, or facilities must be provided, that guarantee or enforce a safe
operational state, even when there is a fault (e.g. using an independent limit value switch,
mechanical locking mechanisms, EMERGENCY STOP devices)
